Buy your very own vault deep underground at Milsons Point

Instead, you travel nine storeys below ground, underneath the building’s eight levels of basement car parking, to your very own bat cave.

Or art storage vault.

Or funky office space.

Or … Roman baths?

The decision is all yours, says Raine and Horne Commercial’s Nick Moloney, the agent tasked with selling the unique space to prospective buyers.

“It’s a commercially zoned space, but at the moment there is no purpose, no business purpose or operation in place,” Mr Moloney said.

“It’s simply 758 square metres of empty space.

“If you could imagine bare shell, no fitout – you’ve got exposed concrete columns in a very raw state.

“Any purchaser who buys the property would need to do a full fit-out custom to their business.”

When the building was a completed 12 years ago, Mr Moloney explains, the vendor purchased the space – along with several residential apartments on the floors above – and had been using it for personal storage ever since.

Of the 120 inquiries received for the property so far, several had come from large telecommunications companies looking to use the space for data storage. Others had more creative ideas.

“It’s what people’s imagination has let them do,” Mr Moloney said. “For example, one potential buyer had a vision for a Roman baths setup.

“So you’d go into a large room with sauna and roman baths, waist-deep pools, all surrounded by white marble tiles and columns.”

That might seem like a far-fetched but it’s entirely in keeping with the building’s atmosphere, Mr Moloney says.

“Ridiculously. It’s a really, really, really. Weird space,” he says, explaining the feeling of being nine levels below ground with no natural light. 

To help the successful bidder for the property come up with a practical use for the site, Raine and Horne has provided artists’ renderings of what the space might look like as a creative office space or a Bruce Wayne-like bat cave.

“We just needed something to trigger the imagination of people for what it could actually be used for,” Mr Moloney said.
